he police told him , if he saw them stealing it was ok to shoot?
No, it is not okay to shoot. Like most states, you must believe you or someone else is in immediate danger of being killed or seriously injured. Now, if you arm yourself and confront them and they make a threatening move, then you may be okay. In the southeastern part of the state, you would probably get a gold star. In a couple of other areas of the state, it might be a closer question depending upon how the situation appears to the local police and prosecutor.
Some states do have provision where you can use deadly force to stop certain types of felonies, sounds like Kentucky includes Arson on the list.
